The Mediterranean way of life has long been hailed as the healthiest for brain and body and now it could be put on the world heritage list. But with Spain facing its own obesity crisis, should we really be bigging it up?
Spain – along with buddies Italy, Greece and Morocco – reckons the Mediterranean diet is so traditional and good for us that it should be put on the world heritage list.
But what exactly constitutes the Mediterranean diet?
Fancy munching on a plate of locusts? Or even a maggot salad?
No? Ok, how about some wasps and rice?
Doesn’t exactly tickle the taste buds, does it? But such a diet could well be the solution to the growing world food crisis.
Tom Cruise has welcomed the recommencement of Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes’ friendship, but only if the ‘d’ word is banned.
Yep, that’s right. Posh Spice and the better half of TomKat are forbidden to discuss diets, in case Katie ends up becoming as thin as Victoria.
TomKat are hoping to start babymaking in the near future, just like the Beckhams, and Tom is worried that Katie will become too obsessed with her diet and fitness regimes.
Italians are losing the taste for pasta as the price of the popular carbohydrate continues to rise.
To make matters worse, other Italian favourites such as bread, fruit and veg are seeing their prices shoot through the roof. It gets worse, though. The Italians, known for their love of quaffing sumptuous wines, seem to be shying away from the vino. Sales of red wine in the country have fallen by 5%.
Want to know why women age more quickly than men?
For centuries the fairer sex have cursed the fact men age more slowly than them. Well, it turns out that it’s all their own fault – or, at least, according to one leading nutritionist.
Why are we all so crap at sticking to diets? Why do we give in so easily?
I mean, we all start off with the best intentions – buying the ‘right’ kind of bread, cutting down our chocolate, trying to stay away from alcohol.
Eating the right diet isn’t just about maintaining a healthy body and looking your best, it can have a real impact on your brain and mental agility.
And if we were a tabloid we’d put man in snarky apostrophes, but we’re just a little bit classier here at DietPixie.
Of course we all know the story. It’s age old. Man meets woman. Falls in love. They decide to have a baby. Man used to be woman until sex change op. Well, partial sex change op. Man still has some of his old womanly bits knocking about. Man carries baby. Goes on Oprah. And now… man has given birth to baby girl.
It’s a beautiful thing.
If only more men gave birth to babies. Maybe then we’d get a bit more bloody understanding about how much it Bloody Hurts. Oh well.
Thomas, 34, was born a lady, but took hormones and had his breasts removed to live as a man. He always hoped to get pregnant one day though, so he kept his female sex organs, telling Oprah it was down to his “human desire” and “right to have my own biological child.”
Some stuffy old squares didn’t agree though, largely the Christian right of America who went flipping apeshit.
His wife Nancy, 45, already has grown-up children and cannot have more biologically after having a hysterectomy.
Look out for exclusive pics in whichever glossy mag has the deepest pockets, very soon.
